Chapter 756: Night Chaos Zizhou (II)
Flames can be seen everywhere in the city of Zizhou, and all the important places in the city are also being attacked by sudden soldiers and horses.
In addition to the armory, several granaries in various places, several city gates, and several official offices that had been completely controlled by the people of the Wanyan Department were all suffering from the onslaught of hundreds to thousands of soldiers.
Although they had no armor and very few long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, let alone horses, they only relied on swords, spears and axes and other weapons, which actually brought a lot of pressure to these places. m.
After all, they were prepared, but the ghost warriors in the city were passively responding to the battle, and they were caught off guard, so they naturally suffered a big loss, and several granaries were quickly captured by them.
However, the situation quickly took a turn with the awakening of the main force of the ghost and the battle.
In fact, according to common sense, the best counterinsurgency strategy for the Guirong people at this time should be to concentrate the main army all the way to suppress these scattered rebels who are making trouble everywhere, so that they can naturally rely on their own strong combat power to quickly quell the rebellion at the minimum cost.
But these ghost cavalry did not make such a choice, but after attacking, they naturally divided into more than ten routes, attacked separately, and pounced on different targets.
In the final analysis, this is not only because of their self-confidence, but also because of their habits.
If it was placed on the wilderness outside the city, they might still concentrate on the charge, but in a complex and narrow place like Zizhou City, it would be more convenient to divide their troops to attack. They didn't think that these rebel groups were really much of a threat to themselves.
Not only did the rebels in front of the armory quickly fall into bitter battles and dangers, but the battles in other places also quickly took a turn with the arrival of reinforcements from the ghosts.
In the face of the swift cavalry, in the face of their tricky and accurate bows and arrows, these Zizhou officers and soldiers who fought separately quickly suffered heavy casualties, and finally had to fight and retreat, until the rear was narrower and the alley was not conducive to the cavalry charge.
And in this way, it naturally fueled the arrogance of the ghost cavalry, and they all rushed forward in a row, even if they went into the alley without hesitation, vowing to kill all these rebels on the spot.
When such a battle situation continued to report back to Wan Yan Bupo, his somewhat irritable mood finally calmed down: "Well done! Tell everyone that as long as this chaos can be quelled tonight, I don't care how many people they kill and how many buildings they destroy! ”
This is to imply that those subordinates can completely let go of their hands tonight and do a big job, even the people in the city are targets that can be slaughtered and looted at will.
Before that, Wan Yan Bupo still had some restraint on his troops and horses, at least not allowing them to blatantly rush into the homes of the people in the city to burn, kill and loot. But tonight's events finally made him have a strong hostility towards the Han people, and he also tore off the mask of gentleness, intending to use more violent means to suppress the whole city.
The subordinate who led the order was in good spirits, and after rushing out of the hall in a few steps, he had already flown on his horse, and with a shout, he rode his horse straight out.
He was to convey this order to the whole city, and to make the Han people in the city pay the heaviest price for the actions of the rebels. His eyes had flashed with excitement and greed......
Then, just as he rode straight out of the gate of the official office, several sharp arrows had already whizzed towards him.
Although he dodged in time, he was still no faster than the feathered arrows that were close at hand, and he was nailed to the chest and shoulder by two arrows, and with a muffled grunt, he almost fell off his horse.
And along with these arrows, there was also a fast horse, and a big man holding a sword high on the horse.
Qin Weiyuan roared like a god descending from heaven, galloping up, and when the person arrived, the sword fell.
Suddenly, the sword light had slashed diagonally into the shoulder of the Oni Rong herald who was swaying after being hit by the arrow, and split it into two pieces at once.
In the midst of his screams, the sword light suddenly burst out again, and quickly attacked the more than ten ghost warriors guarding in front of the official office.
Most of these people were frightened by this sudden change, and they let the sword light slash into their bodies, only to let out a scream.
And the screams here quickly alarmed a large number of people and horses in the yamen, and they immediately moved and rushed towards the outside.
It's just that before they could rush to the gate, Qin Weiyuan had already led two or three hundred elite subordinates with a single horse, shouting and rushing straight into the Taishou official office.
Since all the important places in the city have been raided by rebels, how can this most important yamen, which is the most important place where it is unbreakable, be missed?
So this is not only where their focus is on, but Qin Weiyuan also personally brought the most elite and credible team to fight straight in, and he will definitely take the unbreakable head!
……
Compared with the fierce battles in various important positions in the city, the competition for several city gates in Zizhou City is much more insipid.
Because what the Ghost Rong people here are facing is not the officers and soldiers who are opening and closing and attacking head-on, but groups of people in the rivers and lakes who are good at launching sneak attacks at night.
The Jianghu characters of the three major gangs in Zizhou City, such as the Haisha Gang, also completely displayed their abilities at this time.
They either assassinated or set fire to the wall...... All kinds of means are used on ordinary ghost warriors, and they are naturally invincible.
In fact, in less than a meal after the great turmoil in the city, they had already solved the defenders of the city gates on all sides one after another, and then worked hard to open the city gates one by one and lower the drawbridges.
At the east gate, Ying Laorong waited eagerly, waiting for the imaginary large reinforcements to take advantage of the situation to enter Zizhou, so that today's wish to recapture Zizhou can be realized. And he, and even the entire Haisha Gang, will also become a great hero admired by hundreds of people in Zizhou and even Ludi.
And under their waiting gaze, soon, there was a fire in the darkness ahead, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves rushed quickly.
Just looking at that piece of torch and listening to the extremely obvious movements in the dark night, whether it was Ying Laorong or the other Jianghu guests, the expression on his face quickly froze, but what appeared in his eyes was a thick doubt.
The number of reinforcements that came as promised is too small, right?
There are only a hundred or so people, and there are not even as many people in their gang as they are waiting at the gate of the city at the moment!
"What's going on? Where are your main troops? Ying Laorong looked at the crowd of horses running to him, turned his head and asked Tian Hengxing beside him.
The latter also looked strange, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "These are all our soldiers and horses......
"What?" Ying Laorong shouted in disbelief, "You're not joking, are you?" The gaze with indignation in a daze had fallen on Sun Ning, who was on the other side, and Shi Shiran stepped forward.
Some people died, but not completely......
